Welcome to the interactive homeless shelters database

You may:

  • add data for a homeless shelter
  • review/edit data already posted for a homeless shelter
  • manipulate the data to maximize the projected efficiency of a homeless shelter

Columns E, F, H, I, J, and L are all shaded because they are formated with formulas to automatically calculate efficiency and effectiveness. You do not need to put any data into these columns.

Column J gives the percentage of predicted community need met by a given homeless shelter.

This is based on the predicted number of shelter-days needed for the community.

Column L gives the financial efficiency of the homeless shelter

This is based on annual budget divided by people-days served. For a more detailed explaination and to review my research paper and sources please click the "paper" link to the left.
